Catch Me Z, uncatchable in Kreuth

09 / 02 / 2018

In the German Kreuth in the competition against the clock for seven- and eight-year-old horses, home rider Julia Gorski and Catch Me Z (Chippendale Z x Voltaire) were the fastest. Catch Me Z is a seven-year-old gray gelding, bred by Nathalie Corrin from Awans.

Also in Oliva, the Z-horses were competitive for the places of honor. Nazaro Z (Numero Uno x Calato Z) already became third with Hendrik Denutte in the saddle. Yesterday he also won the final class for six-year-old young horses. They finished in 31.06 seconds and were more than three seconds faster.

In the two phases special class for five- and six-year-old horses together, E-Risingson Z (Elvis ter Putte x Concorde) was in second place with Loic Cannaert. The third place went to Call Me PS Z (Christallo I x Carthago Z) and the Italian Matteo Checci. They already turned fifth in the class for five-year-olds a day earlier. Call Me PS Z is a breeding product of Peter Simons from Lanaken. The grandmother of this mare produced five 1.60m-horses, including Diamanthina v/h Ruytershof (Constant Van Paesschen) and Emerald N.O.P. (Harrie Smolders).

Pius Schwizer and Chidame Z were third in the two-star 1.45m class. Chidame Z is bred by Studbook Zangersheide. This offspring of Chippendale Z x Quidam de Revel is a close relative to Clintrexo Z who jumps 1.60m under Judy Ann Melchior.
